@CryMyEyesViolet

I always felt sorry for the rest of the band because that fucker ruined their careers and even though completely innocent, will always tainted by him.

If you're glad this happened to Ian Watkins, are you also in favour of capital punishment? Because you really can't be of the 'hope they turned a blind eye' brigade and also oppose the death penalty, can you? Or is murdering a monster okay if a prisoner did it? I'm also reminded of David Blunkett's comments about cracking open the champagne when Shipman killed himself. We should just be honest and say that none of these bastards deserve to live.

He planned to rape a baby.

I hope the paramedics stopped off at Greggs for their breakfast on the way to that call out.

You win the internet for me today.

I hope it was painful and he was frightened.

👏👏

Someone will come along and say this isn’t what we should be saying in a civilised society etc but . . . Burn in hell. He wanted to rape a little baby.
I wish I would send whoever did it some commissary.

Well I’m truly astounded that people listen to music and think about the lead singer and their life while listening to it.

I don’t hear an R Kelly song and immediately think - sex trafficker, or an MJ song and not enjoy it because of paedophilia allegations. It’s separating art and artist I suppose.

And there were other people in that band whose livelihoods he destroyed. I’d be more than happy to enjoy their work and have them be paid royalties for it.

I found this really interesting as I absolutely think those things! I could never listen to R Kelly or MJ again due to those things, they are blocked on my Spotify etc.

weird how we’re all so different!

Jumpingthruhoops · 11/10/2025 17:57

Noodledog · 11/10/2025 17:29

The early reports are saying he was stabbed to death by another prisoner.

Well, I would've thought that was obvious!

turnarounddot · 11/10/2025 17:57

Only heard of him today but good.

FionnulaTheCooler · 11/10/2025 17:56

Oh well, no big loss to society there.

REDB99 · 11/10/2025 17:56

He was depraved. I’m glad he’s been killed. I hope he was terrified and knew what was happening. Good riddance.

PruthePrune · 11/10/2025 17:56

Well done to the lag that did it.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 11/10/2025 17:55

I can’t understand why I’d never heard of him before now.

Oh well.

Horrific about what he did though (just reading these comments)

What on Earth ??? I did not know that about this case . Did she go to prison too ? I assume the baby was taken off her ?

Unbelievably there were TWO separate female fans who arranged that he could rape their children, one of whom was a baby. They were both sentenced to prison, I think for about 15 years?

I can't fathom how anyone could possibly think you weren't being sarcastic.

Well, that was my thinking but apparently not. Wild.

I’ve only got a bottle of Bucks Fizz in the house, but that will do absolutely fine to toast his death. I hope it was frightening and painful, that he suffered until the last.

Nosleepforthismum · 11/10/2025 17:54

Oh dear… hopefully the guards leisurely sauntered over to make sure the fucker was dead before administering the “first aid”

Jesus wept. Calm down. It’s obviously sarcasm

I would never usually celebrate the death of anyone, but I will make an exception for Ian Watkins.
